About the Webinar
The experiential economy has set the stage for live performances to become sought-after activities amongst visitors to destinations. Concerts, plays and other performances are available year-round, with diverse programming that engages a wide range of audiences. Shows can be scheduled into tourism itineraries, included alongside a leisure or business trip or enjoyed as a hyperlocal tourism activity. What particular tourism trends should be on the performing arts sector’s radar? What strategic partnerships should be envisioned? And what is needed to help live performances engage new audiences by tapping into the visitor economy?
This webinar is co-presented by CAPACOA, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts and Mass Culture. It is designed for performing arts companies, presenting organizations, and music venues, as well as regional and tourism associations. Simultaneous English-French interpretation will be available.
